Yeah man, sure feels like that sometimes. It's a good skill to have actually, why not obtain it? Who doesn't want to be able to send a text message with a flashlight, pretty fucking handy to be honest man.
When I got explained for the first time about Morse by a collegue of my father, and told how they used only that for any kind of transmission back in the days I was amazed and astonished by the brewery of those man going around oceans flashing ewch other.. SOS is the first and only I learned 😅👀🫥
Yeah it's quite amazing. The guy that invented it, Samuel Morse, invented it because he got a letter when he was abroad that his wife had died, and he was grief-stricken to find out that by letter had taken so long to get to him, that by the time he had got home, his wife had already been buried.
Morse code seems to have been his memorial to his wife.
*the letter
Didn't know this story, it's such a tragic story.. but also a prove that big inventions often come from big and deep needs.. ✊🍀💜
if the bird flu lockdowns take off, I might join you...
I was reading there the last day, that there is a company called 'Gulfstream' that make most of the private jets globally, and the way they pick up new clientele is just sending someone to Davos every year and get them to walk up to cunts and say something like: 'You don't have one of our private jets? Be pretty cool if you did'.
That's pretty much their only marketing strategy because anyone that can afford them is probably there anyways.
Hey man, and since you're wise to the whole bird flu bollox, I think it might be worth mentioning that they are trying to drum up fear about a disease called 'blue tongue' that affects, amongst other things, cattle.
They somehow are anticipating that 'strong winds' are going to blow European midges over to the UK (and therefore Ireland as well I suppose) and cause an 'epidemic'. Sounds like bullshit from a million miles away man. Wish I could give a link, but can't remember where I picked it up, just thought it was interesting.
I'd well believe it...
They were on the radio thismorning, talking about Cryptosporidium getting into the English water supply....
They couldn't wait to cite the source of it as being from cow manure.... 🤡
Seems like the theme for the next while will be the continued attempt to migrate the general population over to a diet of soy beans, and whatever other industrial waste is going...
Appreciate the heads up on the B.T. 👍
If you're on Android gboard has a Morse code option, good for practice.
No way man, that's a top tip! You really are the cream of the crop!
I did this not long ago, I forgot it all already 😂😂
